princes trust funding, any experience?

[455]

Morning,

Do any of you have any experience of dealing with the Princes trust for funding NPTC courses?

I have a young disadvantaged lad working for me, and would like to get him through his ticket courses, however being a low earner myself and new to business, i can only cover a portion of the cost.

Advice appreciated,

Thanks,

 

Darren.

providing lad fits certain criteria.
